GA02767-US

1. Overview

The Google Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen), model GA02767-US, is Google's hardwired smart video doorbell. Its standout feature is on-device machine-learning detection — it distinguishes people, packages, animals, and vehicles locally and includes 3 hours of free event history with no subscription (a key contrast with Ring). Video is a tall 3:4 portrait (960×1280) HDR view (head-to-toe + package view) with up-to-10 ft night vision, two-way audio, managed in the Google Home app. It's hardwired (16–24 V AC, 10 VA min) and, unlike the Battery model, is always powered. Wi-Fi is dual-band (a plus over 2.4 GHz-only rivals).

2. User Sentiment

Praised for the no-subscription on-device detection, the clear tall 3:4 video, dual-band Wi-Fi, easy Google Home integration, and always-on wired power. Common criticisms: it needs existing doorbell wiring (16–24 V AC / 10 VA transformer), the Home app's evolving feature set, and that longer/24-7 event history (Nest Aware) is a paid add-on. The 3:4 portrait aspect is great for packages/people but shows less width.

3. Real-World Applications

Wired front-door monitoring with package/person alerts, two-way talk, and Google Assistant announcements on Nest speakers/displays — always powered, with 3 hr of free event history.

5. Ordering & Compatibility

Requires existing 16–24 V AC doorbell wiring (10 VA transformer). Works with Google Home + Nest speakers/displays; 24-7/longer recording needs Nest Aware. The battery counterpart is the Nest Doorbell (Battery), GA01318 (#377).

6. Hackability & Known Issues

• Hackability: limited/cloud-gated. More local processing than Ring (on-device detection), but integration is via Google's SDM (Smart Device Management) cloud API — Home Assistant's Nest integration works but needs a Google Cloud dev project + cloud auth; no supported fully-local mode, not DIY-flashable.
• Known issues: needs a compatible transformer/wiring, subscription (Nest Aware) for extended history, 3:4 portrait shows less width, and app/feature churn as Google migrates Nest into Google Home.
